Throwing in my 2C on 5-1/2 - 6-1/2 digit DMMs on a budget I have had a few Solartron / Schlumberger 7150, 7150 plus, 7151, 5-1/2 6-1/2 digit DMMs
Pro: - available at very good prices on the net (especially in the UK?). I think I paid around £50 for them. Except one bought brand new 20+ years ago. - stability has been very good. - Fairly compact boxes - usually have GPIB - schematics are available on the web The 7150 are 5.5 digit, while 7150 plus and 7151 are 6.5 digit. Con: - There is a bad mains component causing smoke / shorts with age. Smokes and smells badly so it is easy to find :-) I do not remember details but gave a 7150 away when it smoked. The guy who got it fixed it. - 2A max DC current range - 2kohm min resistance range. - Terminals are banana jacks without binding posts A 7151 attached under a shelf over the workbench is my daily DMM. It is turned on 24/7....
